Epicurus
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.

Epicurus
I have never wished to cater to the crowd for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.
Epicurus
Let no young man delay the study of philosophy, and let no old man become weary of it for it is never too early nor too late to care for the well-being of the soul.
Epicurus
All other love is extinguished by self-love beneficence, humanity, justice, philosophy, sink under it.

The wise man who has become accustomed to necessities knows better how to share with others than how to take from them, so great a treasure of self-sufficiency has he found.
Epicurus
Man was not intended by nature to live in communities and be civilized.

What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.
Epicurus
